I'm confused as to how my internet connection could be working (I'm posting this from that laptop) and that I can ping the repositories, but still not be able to resolve them through updating... I would think that if I could ping them, I'd be able to access them as well for updates. Here are the results of pinging two of them:

I don't know when I'll be able to try another connection, since I'm supposed to leave in two days, but I'll try to keep it posted. Are there any other files I could post that might shed light on the problem?
